On his radio program yesterday, Rush Limbaugh indicated his belief that our country may be trending towards secession by some states.
From the story at Mediaite:
Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday that the U.S. may be “trending toward secession.”
As Limbaugh talked about liberal cities like New York and San Francisco, he took up a question of whether “we can win the culture.”
“I actually think — and I’ve referenced this, I’ve alluded to this a couple of times because I’ve seen others allude to this — I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” he said.
“I see more and more people asking what in the world do we have in common with the people who live in, say, New York?” Limbaugh asked.
In the segment, first flagged by Media Matters, he said, “A lot of bloggers have written extensively about how distant and separated and how much more separated our culture is becoming politically and that it can’t go on this way. There cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of how we manage our affairs. We can’t be in this dire a conflict without something giving somewhere along the way.”

Rush is generally right, and he may well be right here. This all ties in with my piece from the past weekend titled “How Does America Recover From This? It Doesn’t.”
Past generations of Americans had plenty in common, the most obvious among those things being that we were all Americans and all but a tiny few felt an undying loyalty to this country. That love of country – taught in our schools, in our churches and promoted by the entertainment and news media industries – bound us together. We were Americans and damn proud of it.
But that has all changed in America today, specifically on the radical political leftwing, which now dominates the Democrat Party and its policy pursuits. As I discussed in that piece, our entire system of government and the viability of our constitutional Republic depends on the premise that the vast majority of those who govern us would be people of good will who love this country and are loyal to it. Sadly, that entire premise has now become extremely suspect in the Democrat Party, the party that dominates states like New York, which Rush referred to in that monologue.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having an Eric Swalwell among it, Nancy Pelosi assigns him to serve on the House Intelligence Committee, a post from which he could easily share America’s most tightly held national security secrets to his ChiCom honeypot. Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having a Dianne Feinstein – who employed a ChiCom spy as her chauffer for 20 years – in its midst, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer assign her to serve as the Party’s senior member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having anti-Semitic, America hating members like AOC, Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar in its midst, it celebrates them, gives them plum committee assignments and affords them heavy influence in the Party’s agenda.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having ChiCom sellouts like Joe and Hunter Biden in its midst, it celebrates them, covers up for them and even rigs its presidential nomination for an elderly, declining lifelong circus clown as a reward.
The abject hatred of America and everything it stands far among those on the radical political left is not only glaringly evident in Congress, we can see it every day rioting in the streets and issuing heinous diatribes on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. We are at a point in this country where one cannot wear a cap expressing a desire for this country to be great again without being physically assaulted on the streets with the full sanction of many local mayors and the entirety of the corrupt national news media. We are at a point in our country where one risks assault by admitting he or she works in the oil industry or goes to church. We are at a point in our country where major city Democrat mayors like Bill De Blasio feel free to repeatedly attack, chastise and discriminate against Jews and Christians.
What do people in Texas or Oklahoma or North Dakota or Louisiana or Alabama have in common with people in New York or California or Seattle or Portland anymore? Not much, and in very large part, not even love of country.
So, when Rush Limbaugh says he thinks we are trending towards secession, he should be taken seriously.
That is all.
I say cut the cities loose - not the states.
I love Pennsylvania - Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are hell holes.
The blue states have already seceded since they no longer abide by the constitution. I’m all for formalizing this arrangement.
No!! It is the states that are the political entities that entered into the pact known as the USA. Complicating things like you suggest would lead to needless war and bloodshed.
PUT UP A 50 FT ELECTRFIED WALL, WITH SNIPERS.
Show me those Americans who are willing to pick up weapons and go forth to be killed for Joe Biden.
This is just more of the same bullshit that comes up trying to make thievery look like some sort of political disagreement.
The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect liars and thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to rob the Taxpayers.
Secession was contested at that time. That makes a world of difference. I beleive what the author is suggesting is a willing dissolution by both sides.
Unless the political Left can insure it’s control of the Federal government forever, it’s vulnerable to having it’s policies undone just like those on the political Right are.
Neither side seems content to leave most major issues to states anymore, so it seems that a peaceful disoulution is the only solution for long-term stability.
I think I want this. Problem is going to be Social Security. That is the poison pill of secession.
Look at secession as an opportunity and not a bad thing.
That was back when the Northern States knew how to make stuff, now the industrial base is in the South, along with most gun owners....
The Civil War I gave secession a bad reputation. Secession is not a bad thing, war is a bad thing.
An oldie but a goodie!!!
DIVORCE AGREEMENT
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, Socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950’s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass , each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell (you are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We’ll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.
We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We’ll keep the SUV’s, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We’ll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We’ll keep the Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We ‘ll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you ANWR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand and Jane Fonda with you.
"Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."
--Pres. Davis.
Landmines. Never leave out landmines.
These are not our GGGF Yankees. Today’s Yankees are ball-less spineless neutered losers.
So what? It was ENTIRE states that entered into the pact known as the USA. Counties go with the state. If you don’t like it vote with your feet.
They can reapply for admission to the Union if they get their act together, starting with their finances.
NO BAILOUT FOR FAILED STATES!
What are we going to do to be rid of BLUE COUNTIES?
It would have to be a very coordinated effort.
Do sweeps (LE ICE SWAT)of individual cities within counties...National Guard.
Give the landlord x amount of time to big them up to code.
Otherwise, have(crack houses and the like) condemned. Bulldoze them.
“We can’t be wishy washy on this if we want to succeed.”
The problem is, we have been wishy washy as a whole for too long. It started right after WWII, when those good folks were in control of our country in the 60’s & 70’s. They let the hippies survive and evolve into what we have today.
They did not want to fight communism. They let Roe v Wade slide.
As a nation our leaders let our schools, media and Hollywood erode into communism ideology.
Now we are in a corner. We have a choice of being swallowed up by an enemy that has been our enemy since the late 40’s or to fight back and crush the elites made up of the democrat party and our own RINOs.
It would only work if all leftists and right wingers were mandated to live in their respective states/territories or lose their right to vote.
That means massive fraud/lying.
